Easi (Easi Juggerrout): 5/27 - The Life of a Retired Racer

Hey Everyone! I've had an exciting couple of days 😀 It's been so nice out that I've taken up sunbathing on the back deck. I've decided that this is a must when it's sunny with a nice breeze. FoMom even gave me a nice towel to lay on.


When we aren't basking in the summer sun, the resident hound and I have formed a Neighborhood Watch. We watch from the window and sound our alarm to let FoMom know if a leaf falls, person moves a car, or a squirrel climbs the tree.



I also got to make some new friends. Monday was Frankie's (resident hound) birthday so we met some of her friends and her brother for a walk. It was fun to meet new friends and go to a new place to sniff all the things. I even got some birthday ice cream and had to wear a silly hat 😁


Easi (Easi Juggerrout): 5/23 - Walking, Playing and Toys!


Hey there... it's Easi! I wanted to share some of the fun I've been having. Playing with the resident hound here might not be so bad after all. She's got some spunk. Now that I'm settled in I suppose I can have some fun too.

I may collect ALL the toys, but only a few are special. This is my favorite. FoMom says that I'm adorable and have greyt ears. I have no idea what she's talking about. My ears just flop around up there.



I have been taking more walks around the neighborhood here. It's a lot more fun than I thought. So many things to sniff and pee on. You know I gotta leave my mark 😁 I take my new favorite toy for walks too.

Easi (Easi Juggerrout): 5/20 - I Like this Retirement Gig!

I someone would have told me three weeks ago that I'd be relaxing on this fluffy puff bed in the middle of the day, I wouldn't have believed it! But look... HERE I AM! FoMom giggled at me when my tongue was hanging out. I don't think she knows how to relax. There is a nice yard here to nap in too. I like when FoMom is out there doing work because I can help supervise. 



I made sure FoMom got a good picture of me waiting so patiently in my crate for my meals. See... the other hound here isn't as mannerly as I am. I just lay here and my meals are delivered to me. What isn't greyt about that? RETIREMENT IS GREYT!


I've been practicing my manners, talking walks, playing with ALL the toys, napping on ALL the beds, and getting all the belly rubs. RETIREMENT IS GREYT! FoMom says I'm big luv bug. She's right. I just want a couch and people of my own to snuggle.
Ok... just one more picture to remind you just how handsome I am... I'll win you over with my big brown eyes!

That's all for now. I've got naps to take and toys to collect!

Easi (Easi Juggerout): 5/16 - I Like to Collect Things!

Hey everyone! Wait 'til I show you what I have found.....    TOYS!!!


I like 'em if they squeak. I like 'em if they crunch. I like them ALLLL! I especially like to bring them to my bed. FoMom said I was pretty silly going up and down the stairs to get more toys. I say it just gave me more practice on the steps. I've very proud of my collection. I tried to sneak a phone charger and a slipper in there, but I got caught. Oooops 😳

I'm also getting to be quite the brave boy and taking more walks! 💪😎💪 The other greyhound here shows me all the good spots to sniff 😁 My leash manners are quite good, too. I don't bother to try running after squirrels or bunnies that I see on our walks.



FoMom is also always telling me how good I am for waiting patiently in my crate for meals and treats without even being asked to. Hey... I know how to keep the treats coming! Gotta show off those good behavior skills. She never has her picture thingy to capture the moment. I'll talk to her about that.


All these walks and collecting toys has me a little sleepy. I think I'll have a nap while you read this and put in an application to be my forever family. Nighty Night!

Easi (Easi Juggerrout): 5/11 - Good at LOTS of Things!

GOOOOD morning! Hey everybody, it's me, Easi! I decided today was a great day to take a stroll. FoMom says I walk very nicely on a leash. I say, "I'm good at LOTS of things."


I've officially been retired for a week now. There has been lots to learn, but I'm a quick study and FoMom says I'm gonna be a really good boy for a very lucky family. Could that be YOU? Here are a few things I've been doing over the week....


I helped FoMom do her work. I'm very helpful!! There were voices coming from that thing on her lap. I had to say hello. They needed to see this handsome face!

I've practiced Alone Time. Listen, I'll take some quiet time in my crate when I can get it. See how comfortable I am. 😁 FoMom says I'm a rock star at staying by myself.


I learned what all the fuss is about. These smooshy ball beds are GREYT!  Maybe when I find a family of my own they will have one of these that I can sleep in all the time?!?! Would YOU like to be the family to help me make this dream come true?

More adventures to come! See ya later.

Easi (Easi Juggerout): 5/7 - I'm handsome AND smart!!

Hey folks! It's me, Easi. Guess what....?? I found a bed that fits me. I'm stoked! Now... don't get me wrong, I'd still REALLY like a comfy couch to take over. Do you have room for me on YOUR couch?

The other greyhound here is showing me the ropes too. She's helping me learn my manners. She was nice enough to show me how to wait patiently for a snack. I copy just what she does. 


FoMom says that I'm pretty smart. Today, she gave me this puzzle thing and hid some treats in it. I figured that out in no time at all. Piece of Cake! Bring on the next challenge.


While FoMom's dog is hiding from the weird noises we heard, I found this cool round thing that will fly if I throw it. It makes a funny noise too, but I didn't care so much about that. I just chased it when it tried to get away from me.


More and more excitement every day! Retirement is where it's at. I think I'll stick with this new gig :-)

Easi (Easi Juggerrout): 5/5 - Wild new world

Big Easi here! I just retired and I'm learning ALL the things that retirement has to offer.



Mostly, I like the part where you relax. I'm still learning how these bed-things work. They're pretty comfy. Maybe I just need to find a bigger one.


These big windows are great, because I can keep an eye on all the things that are happening outside. There are lots of noises that I've never heard before and I want to know what everything is.


Speed used to win the races I ran. Now, slow and steady wins the race. I'm learning new stuff every day. Keep checking back to see what I'm up to!
